Added CCW and CW ROTATION direction choice. (CCW = Counter Clockwise, CW = Clockwise) Most benders use the CCW direction with positive angles rotating in that direction when you stand at the front of the bender and look down the tube length.

This is a completely new version with too many enhancements to list here. See the update page for details.

Bender Formats Converted

Because you can choose the type of data that is entered in each column of data, the software can calculate at least 12 different combinations of data (12 different styles of bender data charts) See this chart for the combinations:

If you have bender data in any of these formats, you can calculate back to XYZ coordinates in space.

Angular Data Input Possibilities

Bender to XYZ allows for entry of ANGLE data using either a standard floating point format or the "degrees-minutes-seconds" format. Examples of valid entries are:

Angular Entry Type

Example

1 - Decimals

90.51

2 - Degrees-Minutes-Seconds

90d30'30" is converted to 90.51 when the user exits the cell.

3 - Any Combination of Degrees, Minutes, and Second

Any part of the DMS value may be left off and the floating point value will still be calculated properly. For example, all of these are value: 90d = 90.00, or 90d30' = 90.50, or 90d30" = 90.00 (when rounded to two places).

Demo Version

You can download an try a demo version that outputs randomized XYZ data. The licensed version (purchased) calculates precise XYZ data. The demo version will clearly display "Demo Version - Randomized Output" in the XYZ pane.
